Hi everyone. I purchased a 250gig maxtor drive(IDE)... It came with a maxtor
controller card. When I first got it I was able to install the card and the
harddrive pretty much ok. I then had a 250gig drive in windows as an
additional data drive. I was having some crash issues and uninstalled the
card(thinking it was related to that, it was not ultimately)... But now I
cannot get the hard drive to be recognized as 250gig..... The Maxtor ATA
card only sees it as a 32(33?) gig drive.... And thats it.... I purchased a
second maxtor ata card and it too only sees 32 gigs.
But... If I plug it into the ata100 slot on the motherboard(which I cant use
since it wont go past 137gig ultimately) .... It IS detected as 250
gigs...and I can run all the maxblast utilities on it as a 250 gig drive.
but even if I format it, and then plug it in to the ATA card(I'm setting it
on Cable Select when I do) ... it is now sees only as 32 gigs!!!!
What can I do to get my card to be seen ok??!!
Thank You for any help!!!
